We know you're the messenger, so we're not going to tar and feather you -- but ouch.
I have to give credit where credit is due. It has been super nice to see inno making pro-player updates (i.e. pvp tower, fix abort delay, fix zoom on production)...
...and yet, those were all changes that brought back what we previously had. They didn't add anything new and exciting. It really seems like Inno devs are out of touch with the player base by a really really wide margin. They had 3 changes in 2 months that caused uprisings and virtual riots. Flying Island is on pace to be one of the worst GBs of all time from a usage standpoint. And the PVP arena has failed... twice!
I think the worst part is that we're given a feedback thread. We give feedback, and we get silence. Not even a "we hear you, but we're waiting to see more data before we change anything." And if they aren't going to change anything, then why even bother with a feedback thread? *insert broken record meme*

Fake news !Oh btw the Abort delay is back on live server
Start to think of it, they've asked a very long time ago players for coming up with
unique GB bonuses. Pretty much all where many times better than what we've
got with FL. Stuff I saw returning from that was:
Terracotta Army
Virgo (lore behind the GB, kinda the bonus but modified)
however, the winning idea allowing for customisable bonus with a great variety of
different passive bonuses has never made it through. Not even the suggested GB
itself in any way. Makes me wonder, why the've launched a contest to begin with
but ending up with FL instead of digging up ideas from that contest...

Just re-upping my earlier FI suggestion in this thread:
Multiplier on all town hall daily collection output!
* Scales from 2x to 5x as you level and tapers off with steep diminishing returns from there.
* Since this would multiply embassies, this is a direct boost to cultural settlements, so fits well with theme
* Embassy rewards are customizable by player, giving choice
* Incentivizes players to spend diamonds on embassy slots, which is a nice side-boost for inno
* For most players, turns your town hall into part-mini-CC, part-mini-traz, in a way that is desirable and not OP
* Also has a nice side synergy with guild progress, since the FP bonus from your guild level would also be multiplied
* Future-proof: scales slightly with the marginal power creep in embassies over time
* Could just add this bonus to the existing shards bonus; no need to change, rebalance, or nerf existing work
* The whole thing would be comparable to or slightly superior to something like Himeji
I know Inno is just radio silent at this point but it is a pretty great suggestion, IMO and if I may say so myself.

And what about this ? What are the new stats ?
- The power of the Power Dragon unit has been slightly turned down.
Believe the change goes into effect tomorrow morning, so we'll know that for sure then. Harder to know what the flying island changes are without more details

probably of -100 attack than now(800)Believe the change goes into effect tomorrow morning, so we'll know that for sure then. Harder to know what the flying island changes are without more details
I'd hope for -50. -100 seems a little extreme given that its attack was already a touch on the low side amongst SAV units.
I guess maybe this is a shot at making the steel fist more relevant by nerfing its nemesis. Though I suspect what it'll actually do is push people further towards "always energy cannons".

So this is the powerdragon before changes, I am waiting for update to compare how it will be „slightly nerfed”.
Guess will be the deffensive reduced with 100-200, SaaB artilerry have only 550 and powerdragn have it nearly doubled.
@Miguel was right.

The Power Dragon is already weak ang getting weaker, but its power shot skill, so this unit, especially with super scalling boost, remains the probably best SAV unit, allowing with Energy Cannons. So now, the Power Dragon has the lowest damage value, but their defense value is very high.
The power dragon was and no doubt is still great, the range and power shot makes it a great unit against light, heavy and artillery, and it can also deal with fast and ranged perfectly well with the power shot ability.

I don't know that I'd say it's a great unit. Granted I can't actually test them til they hit live, but the Energy Cannon already seemed better to me.
Power Shot is somewhat overrated imo - though they did add some of the few reasons for it to exist to this age (reactive armor, stealth, flying).
With the reactive armor only being 4 though, a high AO & Keen Eye can overcome that well enough with any unit. Furthermore with low base attack against a high base defense and with a bunch of boost in the picture, it might not hit for more than 4 very often anyways.
The stealth unit may not be able to make it to a tile it can hide on having the lowest initiative in the age.
Flying normally only matters to the artillery anyways - so in that sense, it just makes the fast unit flying-in-name-only for the age. But since the fast unit still moves first it should still win the matchup.

In terms of the nerf, it's disappointing - doesn't change my evaluation of the age that much - still likely a boring but safe combat age where at low-medium attrition any unit can beat any unit. Medium-high attrition is a bit sketchier unless you have a focus on defense over attack since the units mostly skew that way.
Playing with the damage calculator it seems at the sort of attrition that I actually worry about how things work, this nerf took PD vs SF damage from 3-5 to 2-5. So not the end of the world. They were already going to be reliant on crits/keen eye procs and range to win those fights.
